The Battle of Geteysburg was called "the turning point." The battle took place July 1-3 1869 and 46,286 soldiers were killed, wounded and captured. "The South had been wining most of the battles. the North needed a big win. The North defended high ground which gave them an advantage. The North also had new leadership and the kind of decisions military by Meade and other leaders of the North were not anticipated by the South. The result was a hard fought battle with great loss of life, at a great extension of supply lines of the South. At the end of the battle, the South was without significant leadership resources and its morale was low. The war trended down hill from there. "
